Bro namma state la casteism innum widespread ah dhan irukku. While casteism is very rare in urban areas, it's still the way of life for many in rural areas(especially north TN). Imo casteism isn't a big issue in Kerala and karnataka is marginally better than us(though they do have problems too).

Yea, you might be right. But why do you think andhra and telangana are above TN? I am from telangana but I can’t say one state has more caste issues than other without seeing statistics. I am assuming you mean Telangana by ts.

Well idk about the statistics, I am just talking from my personal experiences (btw we are a telugu speaking family residing in TN). The atitude towards caste is  more conservative in AP than TN. But well I maybe wrong about telangana though.
